One World Futbol is a provider of revolutionary soccer balls that refuse to go flat, and through their 'buy one, give one' program are reaching out to support those in need. In late 2006, Tim Jahnigen made it his personal mission to give the gift of play by creating soccer balls that would be suitable for war-torn areas, conflict spots and impoverished city neighborhoods. Since then One World Futbol has initiated its 'buy one, give one' program which transparently donates a soccer ball to a charity for each ball purchased online.
The One World Futbol is enabling children in the most war-torn and disadvantaged areas the ability to play. The gift of sport is one that should not be taken lightly; sport allows for an escape as well as bonding and growth amongst children. The companies buy one, get one campaign has aligned for this idea to take off in a sustainable manner; rather than simply donating the balls themselves they allow the public to be a part of economic change and social movement by simply buying a ball. This dynamic idea is putting smiles back on impoverished faces throughout the world for a cost of $39.95 for the buy one, give one project or another option is to simply donate to the movement.
